My Florida Green will present Cannabis Speaks, an educational symposium on medicinal marijuana, from 6 to 9 p.m., May 4, at the Hilton Naples. Physicians, healers, patients, their families and those interested in learning about the effectiveness and value of medicinal marijuana as an alternative treatment may attend this event.

“The overwhelming passage of the Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Amendment in 2016 made it clear that our community wants a treatment option that’s the most effective and least dangerous for their family and friends,” says My Florida Green founder and CEO Nick Garulay. “We have collected some of the most preeminent leaders in the medical marijuana community to offer valuable insights and education regarding research, healing and practical uses.”

Speakers Dr. Mark Hashim, Dr. Paul Weisman, Dr. Cade Copeland, Dr. Mark Vacker and Garulay will provide an overview of what medical marijuana is, who it can help, the medicinal value, what the process looks like and how to navigate the system. Information will be presented from the point of view of both the patient and physician.

My Florida Green’s primary mission is to help people suffering from any of 28 qualified medical conditions or other conditions of similar like, kind or class, with a natural and effective alternative to synthetic drugs in a discreet environment. All of their member physicians are extensively vetted for quality, licensed with Florida’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use and meticulously follow all laws and legal protocols set forth by the state of Florida and Department of Health.

Location: 5111 Tamiami Trl. N. For more information, call 239-307-5307 or visit MyFloridaGreen.com.
